She had a habit that she couldn't really stop Needed money so she had to hit the block Nobody knew it so She steady had to play a role Went to church But surely tearin' up her soul She'd repent sometimes Then she'd press rewind Started over messin' up her life Couldn't cope so she had to hit a knee slow Started prayin' to the Lord She was a preacher's daughter Sendin' herself the tears Sendin' herself the tears A preacher's daughter So she had common sense It's ashamed the way her life went He's too busy though Steady savin souls To realize he lost one of his own Full of pain and stuck out in the dark I even heard her father made his mark Now she's confused Now she's about to lose everything She thought she ever owned Preacher's daughter Sendin' herself the tears Sendin' herself the tears (It's a cryin' shame, oh) It's a shame she couldn't make a way out Now I'm sittin' here twiddlin' my thumbs 'Cause her life is gone and her kids are gone And she lost everything and see her own father Was a preacher but he couldn't pray for her 'Cause he was too busy prayin' for everybody else And layin' hands on all the women in the congregation But I guess that's what goes on When you walk right and perfect And your whole house seems to be perfect And behind closed doors everybody suffers from some kind of demon But nobody knows it until it all unvails itself Your own daughter is out there Locked out in the dark She was a preacher's daughter Help me, Lord, help me, Lord Help me, Lord, I need You right now I need you daddy Could you hear me prayin' Don't you hear me prayin' (She's somebody's daughter) I need you, say I need you I don't know what to do I'm dyin' inside (She's somebody's baby) I can't stop the tears from fallin' I need you, I need you, I need you, daddy Oh, I need you

All I want to be is a shovely bubbly gobbly gook A seagull stole him from his slow mama's hands Aboard the boat, the Sweet Louisa And dropped him in the meadowlands Where wild hyenas taught him how to hunt old elephants So he spent his formative years eating out badunkadunk Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) He traveled across the sea in the belly of a Japanese businessman On a pleasure ship to France And he don't know why she loves him And he don't know why the sun sets but Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Bang pow pow pow ah And her father hated him with the passion of a dying Chinaman He said, "Get him out of here or I'm going to bite off his face" No daddy daddy, don't daddy daddy "Get the fuck out of my house" No daddy daddy, don't daddy daddy "This is my house, my house" Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman) Fee fi fo fum (I smell the blood of an Englishman)

You wish you were stronger You'd learn to love to be alone You're always running into the arms of disaster You wish you were smarter You'd sink your hopes with a stone You're always running into the arms of desire If I could change it all I would But I can't Heal the hurt that weighs you down But I can't Make some sense out of this world But I can't We used to dream We'd somehow always Land on our feet Despite all the distance No matter the tension Like cats entwined in heat Maybe I waited far too long Maybe I waded far too deep Maybe I waited far too long Waiting for the nights to right the I wish I was crueler I'd slash the throat of my god 'Cause I'm always running into the arms of disaster I wish I was colder I'd shiv myself in the yard 'Cause I'm always running into the arms of desire If I could change it all I would But I can't Heal the hurt that keeps us bound But I can't Make some sense out of this crazy world But I can't We used to dream We'd somehow always Land on our feet Despite all the distance No matter the tension Like cats entwined in heat We used to dream We'd somehow always Land on our feet Maybe I waited far too long Maybe I waded far too deep Maybe I waited far too long Waiting for the night to right the If I could change it all I would
